Grapple fittings advice

[STEVESC]

Plan to order a grapple from Everything Attachments for my L2800. There are several options for the fittings. I have no idea which size and style I should choose. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Fittings? Can I assume you are referring to the hydraulic hose quick connects?

If so, simply figure out what you have on the front of your loader arms and get the same for the grapple.

I would check someplace like www.discounthydraulichose.com first and see if you can get the same fittings for cheaper without any upcharge from a seller like EA

You should match the same fittings on the front of the tractor for the third function.

I recently did a DIY 3rd function and added a grapple for my little LX3310. I went with 3/8" flat face fittings and the more I use them the more I like them. When I take all the pressure off to disconnect I just plug the two grapple fittings together. It seems every time I remove and install it the fittings get easier to connect and virtually no fluid loss when doing it.

1/4" flat face are less common but sufficient for a grapple. I mainly went with 3/8" because I wanted maximum flow to operate a mower I adapted.
